CAUTION

Damaged Antenna

Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes

in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if

conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed

terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and

become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly

when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

7.Safety

Binatone Help Line - 0845 345 9677

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your PMR OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless

it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved).

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.

Batteries

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact

sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

WARNING

ForVehicles with anAir Bag

Do not place your PMR in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.

Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the air bag deployment

area and the air bag inflates, the PMR may be propelled with great force and

cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,

clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or

chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your PMR OFF near

electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off the two-

radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.way
